Aven’s Village gets big donation

Security Service Federal Credit Union, through its charitable foundation, has donated $10,000 to help build Aven’s Village, an all-inclusive playground at Island Grove Regional Park.

Aven’s Village will allow children of all abilities to play together without barriers.

“Generous donations like the one we received from Security Service Federal Credit Union is making this dream become a reality,” said Andy McRoberts, director of culture, parks and recreation for the city of Greeley, in a news release. “We are thrilled that so many local organizations and businesses have stepped up to help fund Aven’s Village.”

Shane’s Inspiration (a nonprofit organization devoted to creating inclusive playgrounds and programs), has partnered with the project’s fundraising organizers to help them reach their goals.
